No matter which version your site is currently using, you can update to the latest minor version that is available.

You do not have to concern yourself about any (if any) minor version updates that may have been released in between the release of the version you are using now, and the one you are updating to.

Upgrade: Switching from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7, or from Drupal 6 to Drupal 8, or from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 is an 'upgrade'.

If you want to 'upgrade' your site, go here: Upgrade to Drupal 7 or 8 - Major version change to your current D6 or D7 site Unlike the words 'update' and 'upgrade', which refer to very specific tasks, the word 'migrate' has a broader meaning in that it is used in reference to several different tasks.
